@Shanus

don't know why many are "negative" you're doing exactly what every mom/dad/family members do! He's moving in for work reasons not financial & honestly, it's non of our business.

Believe me if my son(s) needed transitional housing - I'd be the first to offer...in fact, I'd be cleaning out drawers in spare bedroom before we even got off the phone & doing the happy dance!! Lol

At first, I did not clearly read the post correctly - rules. 

Seems you have good relationship with him & family -- bet you'll be surprised how well it works out & the grandkids just might to hang out with grandmom longer. 

I wish my family was close enough to even come for the day...I'm counting the days til 4/6 when my son & GD come for 2 weeks and I go home to their house for the month.

@homedecor1. Thanks for vote of confidence. Enjoy your month with your family.

I have two children who are out on their own now but if circumstances came up that they needed to move back home, they would, of course, be welcome.  We never know what life is going to throw at us and I will always be there for my children as I hope they would be there for me, when and if the time comes.  We family and faimily is everything.

That post is so great!!! Laughed so hard....My son is a Landscape Architect. He's going to build me a raised herb garden with stone walls between the different levels. Brisket and kasha varnishkas do not come to those to sit on their tuchos!!!!!

Still laughing!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks

Shanus, Shayna, whatever.

[Shanus]

@Poodlepet2   Still laughing. Hubby read your post and tears running down our faces. You're too funny.

There will definitely be other Live Reports From Shanus. We'll just have to see from where. 

Thanks for being in my fan club. 

Hugs back

My mother moved in with us when she needed help, and stayed until her passing. My daughter and her two sons moved in with me for six months to sell and buy a new home. I feel good about both decisions, even the added mess, The hardest part is missing them when they move, It's like going through empty nest syndrone all over again!

Enjoy your time together, This opportunity will probably be the last opportunity of it's kind!

My only thoughts about the hostile responses is maybe the sons and daughters would rather live on the street than move home. My heart would be broken, and It would say more about me than it does about them.

       @I enjoyed and appreciated your sincere loving motherly wisdom, @steiny3844~

 Take a look around, read the news -what is this horrific thing happening to the young children to adults, that they are loss -on the streets....

Something  'is' very LOSS in today's world with either parents or its soceity's pressure. 

When did this even begin, to have a parent say:

                    _KICK MY KID OUT_? Or someone else's?

I know, right?

It almost seems like they hate their kids, resent the fact that they were even born, and would rather see their kids living on the streets, before they would even consider letting them come back home.

I just hope that these "mothers" know, that one day in the future, they themselves might need their kids to take care of them, and if this is the treatment that they got from "Mom", well, the kid would have every right to say, "Remember how I came to you in my time of need and when I had no where else to go, and you slammed the door in my face, and told me to find my own way? Well, guess what 'Mom', turn about is fair play. Find your own way now,". Slams door.

I think it all just depends on the situation.  If the parents have a small place and eeking by on retirement of course they could not take on a family and help them.  Also it depends on the children.  I think most parents know if they have irresponible children who would never leave if they get a free ride.  Every situation is different.

Shanus, I want some of your brisket and kasha varnishkas seeds! Wow! Did he graduate from the Yeshiva University of Landscape architecture????? Imagine how pretty a rugelah patch would be...

I think that's so sweet to plant those for him in the wonderful raised beds he's building for you!

Hugs and laughter,
